*TEAM LEADER

**NIKKI’S 2017 EAST LYME HS SEASON WAS LIMITED TO 10 OUT OF 22 GAMES, DUE TO A WRIST INJURY.

THE BUZZ:NIKKI IS ONE THE MOST DEDICATED PLAYERS IN OUR PROGRAM. SHE IS EXTREMELY VERSATILE AND BRINGS EXTRAORDINARY OFFENSIVE AND DEFENSIVE SKILLS TO EVERY GAME. AT THE PLATE, SHE SITUATIONALLY DRAG BUNTS, SLAPS AND HITS. SHE DISTRIBUTES THE BALL TO ALL FIELDS, DELIVERING GAP AND HOME RUN POWER. SHE RUNS 3.0 HOME-TO-FIRST AND THREATENS AS A LEGITIMATE BASE STEALER. IN THE MIDDLE INFIELD, NIKKI STOPS EVERYTHING EQUALLY WELL TO HER RIGHT OR HER LEFT. SHE PLAYS EQUALLY WELL AT SHORT OR SECOND AND HAS A VERY STRONG ARM WITH A LIGHTENING RELEASE. SHE’S A TEAM LEADER, SHOWING A HIGH ACUMEN FOR ALL ASPECTS OF THE GAME.

I HAVE BEEN PLAYING SOFTBALL SINCE I CAN REMEMBER. I STARTED OUT PLAYING AS A WAY OF SPENDING TIME WITH MY DAD AND MY SISTER, BUT IT SOON BECAME MY PASSION. I STARTED PLAYING TRAVEL SOFTBALL AT THE AGE OF NINE AND PARTICIPATED IN CAMPS AND FALL LEAGUES. I CONTINUOUSLY WORK ON WAYS TO PERFECT MY TECHNIQUE AND MY GAME. I’VE BEEN TAKING HITTING LESSONS FROM A COLLEGE COACH, AND WORK ON MY POWER HITTING ALONG WITH DEVELOPING MY TECHNIQUE AS A SLAP HITTER. SOFTBALL HAS BECOME A PRIORITY AND A WAY OF LIFE WITH ME. – NIKKI MARSH
